Nenagh Christmas Craft Fair Part Two

At her stall Anita let me in on the secret that her husband is also a capable jewellery maker and contibuted to the array of pieces on offer (...but ssshhh! it's a secret ;) )

The selection of jewellery available from this crafty pair runs the gamut from pieces to adorn everywhere from your earrings to your wrists and quite possibly even your ankles.

From small and understatedpieces

To larger statement pieces

As is well known amongst those in the know, we crafters tend to indulge in more than one craft when our time and resources allow (and if they don't we've been know make them). This lovely lady also paints.

As is always the case, the best people to ask about what they do are the artisans and crafters themselves. So here's their business card for you.

What I think is a particularly cool idea is that they can arrange jewellery parties. Just picture it. You could bring that top you know needs accessories and be sure that whatever pieces you get at the jewellery party will suit your needs without any guesswork. Sweet!

About Me

As my handle suggests I’m a crafter and knit, crochet, and look forward to a time when I can embroider again.
The rainbow refers to where I volunteer - Rainbow Support Services. I help to run a drop-in service with a bunch of great volunteers. Two of us started a Stitch’n’Bitch which called Rainbow Drop-in home. we've now relocated to the Old Quarter Pub.
I often refer to myself as a rainbowhead - cos I spend so much time there :) and get into a certain (far more patient) mindset when I’m in Rainbow.
My 'real' job is as an admin temp. So by day I push paper and by night I poke yarn. :)
I’m a drag king, so I have a particular interest in cool knits for men.
Oh yeah, and underscoring everything else - I’m parent to a blond bombshell who is gonna break hearts as she gets older.
